83: Giving Up Dieting and Exploring Health at Every Size

Nutrition Matters Podcast first explored the Health At Every Size paradigm in episode 41. In this episode with Meredith Noble, we take on the topic of HAES a second time, exploring it in even more depth than the first time. Together, we answer common questions about the HAES paradigm and attempt to dispel myths and misunderstandings about its scope and mission.   Meredith Noble is a coach who helps plus-size people find food and body peace. Her practice combines Health at Every Size and intuitive eating philosophies. With her compassion and expertise, her clients learn how to feel more comfortable in their skin, be at ease around food, and leave toxic diet culture behind.   “If you’ve been made on a generous plan, you have qualities that littleness can never possess. Who with any authority has said that slender persons are of the best type? Only carry yourself well, be reposeful and stately, with a brain that sits supremely on the throne of your being, and you may come into your kingdom of power and love.”    - Beauty of Form and Grace of Vesture, 1892   Links mentioned: Meredith's website: http://www.generousplan.com/ Meredith's post about how she understands why people want to lose weight: http://www.generousplan.com/plus-size-understand-want-lose-weight/ Paige's article exploring what the word "healthy" actually means: https://www.paigesmathersrd.com/single-post/2017/07/24/What-Does-the-Word-Healthy-Actually-Mean Health At Every Size info: https://www.sizediversityandhealth.org/
